WACO, Texas (AP) -- A pastor performing a baptism was electrocuted inside his church Sunday morning when he adjusted a nearby microphone while standing in water, a church employee said.
The Rev. Kyle Lake, 33, was stepping into the baptistery as he reached out for the microphone, which produced an electric shock, said University Baptist Church community pastor Ben Dudley.
Water in a baptistery usually reaches above the waist, said Byron Weathersbee, interim university chaplain at Baylor University.

ne = new. Yeah, October 31st story. Well, it's nice to revisit things. Didn't he tell the people he wanted God to do something exciting just before this?

If he'd been a Lutheran he would only have had a small pan of water and he'd have been cool.

"He was grabbing the microphone so everyone could hear," she said. "It's the only way you can be loud enough." One word: Wireless!

If you can't ensure that the housing in grounded (Duuuh!) at least go with battery powered portable mikes in the future. There must have been an electrical fault, the hot wire in contact with a metalic housing. If the housing had been grounded, we wouldn't be having this conversation.
